The Minister of Education, Dipu Moni, and the Minister of Welfare for Expatriates and Employment Abroad, Imran Ahmed, emphasized technical education by modernizing teaching after the corona virus epidemic. They expressed this conviction by joining a virtual dialogue called ‘Let’s Talk’ amid the corona virus outbreak.
Dipu Moni said that to achieve the goals of the SDGs and the demographic dividend for 2030, it is necessary to keep an eye on the fourth industrial revolution.
For the Fourth Industrial Revolution that is coming, Big Data, Blockchain. Chu Trans Genetic Technology. You have to adapt to these. We need to be prepared. There will be a total transformation of technology. Our new challenge is to adapt to this change. Our greatest tool is technical education.
He said that the National Perspective Plan formulated in 2010 will be modernized and the Education Law will be finalized.
Dipu Moni said: “We are trying to completely transform general education.” Everyone is realizing that we have a curriculum that I need to constantly update. Because the world is changing so fast. The curriculum is changing dramatically.
Textbooks were supposed to be delivered to schools in the new curriculum in 2021, but must be postponed until 2022 due to the corona virus, the education minister said.
With the idea of what the new type of technical education will be like, he said that in all educational institutions, at least two trades will be compulsory for everyone in the ninth and tenth grades. When the trade is more logical depending on the region, they will choose two trades according to their choice. It was supposed to launch in all educational institutions in 2021. However, we have introduced it in 640 educational institutions. I am looking at one side of the curriculum. I am trying to incorporate soft skills from the curriculum.
Dipu Moni believes that to formulate a new curriculum you have to look at the market economy.
The update must be very fast. So I have to do market research. There has been talk of market demand. We believe that the curriculum that exists today will be redundant tomorrow. That is why we have to have a continuing education system. That is why we talk about modular education over and over again. We are saying, this is our online education to retrain, improve your skills, it will not go away after post covid. We need to create opportunities to update it.
Dipu Moni said the Ministry of Education will go ahead with the formulation of the curriculum and the creation of trained teachers.
The Minister of Welfare for Expatriates and Employment Abroad, Imran Ahmed, said that 120,000 people had returned from different countries as of last Thursday due to the corona virus situation.
Commenting on his ministry’s decision to retrain and send large numbers of workers abroad, the minister said: “I feel that no matter where the training comes from, we train them and send them abroad again.” Because I can’t get a job in the country in such a short time. With the training of those who will be ready, I want to send them out of the country quickly.
As soon as I can send, the government has succeeded in this. However, it is necessary to investigate what will happen in which country. There are labor consuls in 30 countries. I told you to get the news from there. People from that country, what kind of skills are needed. “
There are currently 64 technical training centers-TTC in the country. Imran Ahmed expects another 40 TTCs to be launched between December and January. We will send DPP for 61 more TTC in the next 2-1 weeks to the Ministry of Welfare for Expatriates-Employment Abroad.
Imran said, we will do a TTC in each upazila. But we need to send people abroad. Our goal is to train at least 1,000 people from each upazila and send them abroad.
Emphasizing the need for a market study in formulating TTC’s curriculum, he said: “We need to review existing trades to make them acceptable abroad.” We must also make sure that the certificates we have are accepted abroad. It must have mutual recognition. If we accept your certificate, why don’t they?
